Sweet Spirit Productions Featured in Weddings in Houston

Sweet Spirit Productions was contacted this past fall by Elena Donovan Mauer who was writing an article about wedding videography for the January 2010 issue of Weddings in Houston magazine. She interviewed Sandy Buller about what he does as a wedding videographer. She discussed his experience in producing films and videos in the wedding event industry, and current trends used in documenting the wedding day. Her article is titled "Movie Magic Video goes beyond - and before, and during - the big day".

A Rhythm Journey!
ARTreach was awarded a grant from the Texas Commission on the Arts to help bring performing artist Dan Egger-Belandria from Austin, Texas to the Youth Activities Center in Richmond/Rosenberg. Dan Egger-Belandria is a professional performing artist listed on the TCA roster. His workshop is titled “Rhythm in Action” and introduces percussion instruments and drumming styles as an effective tool for expressing emotions, communicating and managing stress. Dan is able to demonstrate through music the impact of a person’s choice to take action or take inaction to make good things happen. This is a motivational presentation that will spark enthusiasm and promote a healthier group dynamic.

Sweet Spirit Productions Helped Out Rachael Ray

Rachael Ray did an amazingly good deed by providing a real wedding for 33 Houston-area brides who were left in the cold as two local venues, Bella Terraza in the Galleria area and the Tuscany in Garden Oaks, filed for bankruptcy after Hurricane Ike. This mass wedding rescue at Minute Maid Park was featured on her November 21, 2008 show!

Visit Rachael's daytime talk show website which credits Sweet Spirit Productions. A few of the other vendors who volunteered their time and resources were David's Bridal, Men's Wearhouse, Darryl & Co., and Shutterfly Productions.

Video Debut at Katy ARTreach Gala

This video documented a pilot project at Morton Ranch Junior High School in which kids who attended an hour-long tutorial after school were treated to special classes afterwards in hip hop dance, graffiti art, spoken word, or soccer. The project resulted in kid's exhibiting improved grades, better attitudes, and greater confidence. We got to debut our video at the Katy ARTreach Gala on Sunday evening, October 21, 2007 at Don McGill Toyota. The evening was a great success and we enjoyed the exciting auction of artwork by artist David Garibaldi. Garibaldi created a 6-foot portrait of Bono in his Rhythm and Hue Performance art show at the I Love Katy festival and the Radiant Life Church donated the artwork to Katy ARTreach!  The Hub Cap art created by the nominated Heroes Among Us (including Sweet Spirit Productions!) was auctioned off and we enjoyed great entertainment by URGEWORKS, Strike 3 Percussion, and Soul Fruit. Dinner was catered by Hasta La Pasta.
